Shopping for the wellness-minded people in your life can be surprisingly intimidating. They already have their rituals, their favorite powders, and the matcha whisk they swear by. But the right gift can make those habits feel even more special. And during a season that leans heavily into indulgence and nonstop plans, a present that helps someone slow down and reset can go a long way.
Whether they unwind with a candlelit face mask, start every morning with a revitalizing smoothie, or simply enjoy sipping a sparkling beverage out of a pretty tinted coupe, your giftee will love these thoughtful, useful self-care gifts. Consider them little moments of calm that can become part of their wellness routine all year long.
Rocky’s Matcha + Tea Set
As far as making matcha at home goes, it doesn’t get much better than Rocky’s. The newer brand, which founder Rocky Xu started in 2022, has that cool kid aesthetic from their apparel to their tea accessories. It’s perfect for the matcha lover in your life who wants to level up their morning ritual and do it in style.
Dose for your Liver
The wellness trend-setter on your list—you know, the person always game to try the latest Erewhon smoothie or protein popcorn—will be tickled to see Dose in their stocking. This wellness elixir uses turmeric, dandelion, milk thistle, and ginger to support your liver function and promote a healthy metabolism. “It tastes like orange juice with a tangy turmeric kick; it’s so tasty, it’s a bummer that the recommended serving is a tiny 2-oz shot—I’d gladly drink a whole glass,” says senior commerce director Abbey Stone.
Factor Form Daily Greens
While we can’t promise greens powders will transform anyone’s health, we all know people who swear by starting their day on a nutritious foot. My colleague Alaina Chou loves Factor Form for its refreshing flavor and says she could happily drink it daily. She credits the citric acid, “which adds a tart undertone that plays well with the grassier notes, balancing rather than completely disguising them.”
Flamingo Estate The Garden Tour
Flamingo Estate practically wrote the handbook on luxurious indulgence. Lighting one of their herbaceous candles, washing my hands with their rosemary clary sage soap, or spooning some of their raw, unfiltered wildflower honey into tea makes me feel like all my troubles are so far (or at least farther) away. With a selection of the brand’s most beautiful products, The Garden Tour gift set lets someone you love experience that same little escape.
Nama M1 Plant-Based Milk Maker
If you have a friend who loves a DIY kitchen project (or refuses to buy store-bought anything), this is a wildly good gift. Nama’s machine makes nut or oat milk in under a minute. No more additives; just nuts, water, maybe a touch of sweetener, and voilà, they’ll have fresh milk for smoothies, coffee, and cereal with a touch of a button.
Vitamix Ascent X2
Few things feel more “wellness” than a smoothie loaded with greens, fruit, seeds, and healthy fats. If someone in your life needs a blender upgrade, this is the one. One of our Gear of the Year winners, the Ascent X2, has a powerful 2.2 HP motor that is so powerful it can even turn raw ingredients into hot soup in six minutes. Yes, it’s a splurge, but with a 10-year warranty, it’s the kind of gift they’ll use for a decade.
MadeIn Ceramiclad Nonstick Pan
If you know someone switching to nontoxic cookware, this is exactly the gift they’re looking for. Made In’s CeramiClad pan is PFAS-free and sturdier than most ceramic nonstick pans we’ve tested, thanks to its 5-ply stainless-clad base. It’s senior commerce writer Emily Farris’s go-to for eggs, and a great gift for anyone rethinking their cookware.
Rorra Countertop Water Filtration System
For new parents, friends in older buildings, or anyone trying to drink more water, this is a practical-but-thoughtful gift. The NSF-tested Rorra system filters out lead, forever chemicals, microplastics, and over 50 other contaminants while serving as a chic countertop reminder to stay hydrated.
Owala FreeSip Water Bottle
Our team has a lot of Owala fans. They all swear by the brand’s functional-but-cute products, whether the cult-followed FreeSip water bottle or the SmoothSip coffee mug. My colleague Alaina Chou says, “I became immediately hooked and quickly abandoned all of my other water bottles. The cute butter yellow color, the satisfying click of the spout cover as it pops open, the joy of sipping through a straw—I loved it all, and found this was the first water bottle I’d owned that actually encouraged me, a person who is perennially underhydrated, to drink water throughout the day.” I’m sold!
Plant People WonderHydrate Electrolyte Gummies
For loved ones who don’t want one more powder in their routine, Plant People’s WonderHydrate Electrolyte Gummies are a fun, travel-friendly alternative. They taste like lychee candy, support hydration and recovery, and are easy to toss into a bag. It’s a great stocking stuffer for wellness lovers and frequent travelers.
Ghia Cocktail Box with Original Aperitif
Ghia’s nonalcoholic aperitif is floral and bright and comes in a bottle worthy of being front and center on your bar cart. Unwind in style with the Ghia Cocktail Box, which comes complete with everything from a bottle of Ghia to a fancy pour spout to a handmade Totem Glass designed in collaboration with Sophie Lou Jacobsen. And if you’d rather take your Ghia to the outdoors, picnic with Le Fizz, the brand’s newest aperitif with a refreshing tart strawberry and orange blossom flavor. Le Fizz is meant to be shared, and this set comes with two bottles and four Ghia spritz tumblers.
Our Place Party Coupes
Whether you’re drinking a cosmopolitan or your favorite N/A beverage, the Our Place Party Coupes will make the experience that much more luxurious. They’re stackable and dishwasher-safe, perfect for the friend who loves to host but hates cleaning up. Pro tip: They also make a very good vessel for an ice cream sundae, granita, or parfait.
Spring & Mulberry Essence Painterly Set
The only thing more indulgent than a few bars of chocolate is one aromatically infused with pure essential oils, like mint leaf, blood orange, and bergamot. Spring & Mulberry chocolate is notoriously good for gifting—the packaging is beautiful and the brand uses the best of ingredients from direct-trade single-origin cacao and organic dates.
GEM Energy Caffeinated Bite
Perfect for the friend who’s over pills and powders, GEM’s multivitamin bites deliver caffeine and functional ingredients (like ginseng, kelp, and pumpkin seeds) in a tiny, delicious square made from real food. I’ve been relying on their energy bites to get me out of bed and off to a workout with just enough caffeine from green tea in a single, easy snack. But if your giftee wants something for sleep, calm, or daily vitamins, GEM has bites for those, too.
Fellow Matcha Set
Fellow, one of our favorite design-centric coffee gear brands, has finally released a five-piece matcha set. And true to Fellow fashion, it’s both gorgeous and functional. The set includes everything needed for a proper matcha ritual, from bamboo whisk to sifter, in four stunning colors. It’s the perfect gift for the person in your life who actually (or aspires to) delights in the ritual of making matcha at home.
Manukora Manuka Honey Kit
Raw manuka honey is something of a wellness buzz (get it?) term these days. It promises to support immune function, boost digestion, and make your skin glow. If any of that intrigues you, perhaps add a Manukora manuka honey kit to your cart this season. It comes with raw manuka sourced from New Zealand, travel-pack honey sticks to stick to your routine, a wooden dose spoon, a guidebook, and a few more bee-youtiful perks.
Algae Cooking Club Nara’s Roasted Garlic Oil
Algae Cooking Club broke onto the scene in 2023 as a chef-backed, sustainable neutral oil made from algae. The brand is now back with a very buzzy collab with model and creator Nara Smith—roasted garlic oil that packs in all the allium flavor without having to endure sticky, stinky garlic fingers. Plus, it’s steeped with yuzu, miso, and scallion for added flavor. It’s flavorful, adorable on the counter, and perfect for the home cook who loves trying cool new ingredients.
Youth to the People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser
For the person in your life who makes drinking green juice their personality, this cleanser is for them. Youth to the People packs in all those green superfoods, plus ingredients like glycerin and vitamin E, into a cleanser that feels incredibly refreshing and hydrating on the skin and smells like a bouquet of herbs.
Alice Mushroom Chocolate
Alice mushroom chocolates are the ideal gift for someone who loves to try every single wellness trend. The brand is delivering the supposedly magical powers of functional mushrooms (no, not the kind you put in risotto, and no, not the psychedelic kind) in the form of organic dark chocolate. One of the varieties is chocolate bites for “deep sleep” with ingredients like chamomile and L-theanine. Our editors tested them over a few months and were shockingly pleased with the results.
Pressed Juicery Post-Weekend Rescue Pack
The holiday season is all fun and games until you find yourself returning to work on a Monday after one too many holiday parties and not enough hours of sleep. Pressed Juicery’s Post-Weekend Rescue Pack can nurse you back to life with their blends meant to hydrate, detox, and supply depleted electrolytes and vitamins. Do yourself a favor and have this bundle waiting for your future self in the fridge on Monday morning—you’ll be rejuvenated and ready to go again once Friday rolls around again.
Owl Venice Broth Elixir Sampler Pack
OWL Venice offers bone broth elixirs (as well as “mylkshakes” and supplements) free of allergens and suited for people with digestive issues. The broths contain no alliums and are available in organic beef, bison, chicken (my personal favorite), turkey, and vegan varieties. With ingredients like ginger, fennel, Swiss chard, turmeric, lavender, and apple cider vinegar, they’re tasty enough to sip like a tea. But they also make a great base for soups and grains. Buy a sampler pack for your broth-loving friend and, most importantly, for yourself.
